STORY CONTINUES BELOW
The rally comes after a turbulent weekend driven by U.S. and Israeli military activity in the Middle East, which briefly pushed the token below key psychological support.
Now back above $2.17, XRP is testing fresh resistance levels with high-volume support holding at $1.97.
News Background
- Geopolitical tensions have gripped global markets, with crypto especially reactive to headlines involving Iran, Israel, and the U.S. XRP’s recent climb comes amid this volatility, showing relative strength despite the uncertain macro backdrop.
- Trading volumes surged as buyers stepped in at the $1.97 level, setting off a high-momentum breakout that topped out at $2.173.
- Some analysts now forecast a potential run toward $6 by the end of the month — though others warn a 25% correction to $1.55 remains possible.
- While sentiment is split, market data shows institutional players are still active.
- Futures open interest and volume are elevated, and on-chain flows suggest accumulation over distribution.
- The $2.13–$2.15 zone is now acting as immediate support, and the broader structure appears bullish if it holds.
